A Japanese-Chinese dictionary in 12 volumes. Compiled by Shoju. After a draft was created in 892 (Kanpei 4), further additions were made and the dictionary was revised and enlarged to the current 12 volumes during the Shotai period (898-901). It lists kanji by radical, provides pronunciation notes, gives meanings in classical Chinese, and gives Japanese readings in Man'yōgana. It is the oldest Japanese-Chinese dictionary in Japan. The radicals are arranged differently from the current dictionary, in the same order as in Chinese texts, such as the Heaven section, the Day section, and the Moon section. It lists about 21,000 characters, of which over 16,300 are classified by radicals, and in some parts the same radicals are divided by the four tones. There are about 3,700 Japanese readings, and about 70 harmony notes. It contains many words that convey vestiges of the language of the Nara period, and even after the collapse of the special kana spelling of ancient times, this book still retains the Ko class A and B.

漢和辞書。12巻。昌住(しょうじゅう)撰。892年(寛平4)に草案成立後、さらに加筆して昌泰(しょうたい)年間(898~901)に現存の12巻に増補改編された。部首別に漢字を掲出して、字音注を施し、漢文で意味を記し、万葉仮名で和訓を付す。漢和辞書としてはわが国最古のものである。部首の配列は、現行とは異なり、天部、日部、月部などという中国の類書などと同じである。掲出字は約2万1000で、そのうち1万6300余字は偏旁(へんぼう)によって分類し、同じ部首内を四声によって分けている部分もある。和訓が約3700条にみえ、和音も70ほど記されている。奈良時代語のおもかげを伝える語彙(ごい)が多く、上代特殊仮名遣い崩壊後も本書にはコの甲乙2類が保たれている。 [沖森卓也] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
